My experience is that men and women can be friends, but that such a case is unusual.
Now some people do meet and marry happily online but that seems very unusual too. How many are harmed, sometimes horribly, because of online relationships that led to disaster? I say beware, beware.
There is no accountability in your situation. How do you know he isn't married? How do you know he isn't sitting in some green gown being given his meds in a medical institution, or dressed in an orange jump suit ready for the road crew to call him? You don't. Really, you may not know one thing for sure that you can verify about him. Except this: You really don't like him much, if at all! He is a downer to you.
What you seem to be asking above all, is how to get away from him.
You don't owe him a thing, except to treat him with respect. Just tell him you have enjoyed chatting with him but your interests are moving you in another direction. (Like say, your interest in untangling yourself from someone you don't know and don't really find attractive.) You don't have to be specific and he has no right to ask you to be. If he gets insistent, block him. Again, you owe him nothing but respect, but if he isn't respectful in return, he deserves to be blocked.
Just get rid of him. It's not that hard. It's easy, in fact..
